Santa Cruz Breakwater Lighthouse, also known as Walton Lighthouse, is a lighthouse in California, United States, on the Santa Cruz Harbor. It is known as Walton Lighthouse because Charles Walton, a local businessman, contributed a significant part of the cost in memory of his late brother Derek Walton, who was a merchant seaman. The Walton lighthouse was built in 2001 with donations including $60,000 from Charles Walton. [http://www.rudyalicelighthouse.net/CalLts/SntaCruz/SntaCruz.htm]
